Minister Mah speaks on property cooling measures
The government has said it will take further steps, if necessary, to promote a stable and sustainable property market.
This is according to National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan, who was responding to a question by MP Er Lee Bee Wah in Parliament on Monday.
The latest round of property cooling measures in January aimed to rein in speculators and pre-empt a bubble. Discouraging genuine homebuyers or causing prices to crash was not the intention.
Overall, the Ministry of National Development expects Singapore's property market to remain buoyant amid strong economic growth, low interest rates and excess liquidity.
Mr Mah said: "We do not wish to see prices shooting up so fast as to be unsupportable by the fundamentals of the market. At the same time, we also do not want to see a lot of short-term speculations in the market.
"So our measures in January were pre-emptive in nature because we wanted to act before a bubble forms. It was calibrated so as to cool the market and not to price the market. It was very targeted at the short-term speculators and not at genuine homebuyers. So if we meet these objectives, then I think the measures would have done their job."
With the government signalling its intention to act again if necessary, some analysts said it will look at both prices and transaction volumes to decide if further cooling measures are required.

kewl
singapore is still 3rd world ...
property tax collected should go to the District where the properties are .. to improve on its schools, roads etc ...
property owners in some part of D5/17/27/28 , as example, are paying prop tax and theres NO primary school within 1 km ???? in fact NO primary school at all ...
the tax must have been used to subsidise some other districts which is not right
that's so third world !!!!!!!!

haha, so the key word is 3rd world
